Lady Gaga confirms new Dublin, Belfast concerts

Lady Gaga, one of the most exciting and innovative new artists in recent history, has announced her highly anticipated return to Dublin and Befast later this year

Lady Gaga will play The O2, Dublin venue on 26th October it has been announced. Tickets are limited to 8 per person and go on sale this Friday at 9am and are expected to sell out in a few minutes. Belfast tickets will be announced on Friday as well

The second leg of the world tour promises to push the limits of the live concert experience, bringing fans a spectacle even more eye-popping than what they experienced during the thrilling first leg of The Monster Ball.

"It's still called Monster Ball, but it's more of a musical and less of a concert,” Lady Gaga said in a February interview with KIIS-FM’s Ryan Seacrest. “It has a New York theme, it's a story, and the story is that me and my friends are in New York and we're going to the Monster Ball, and we get lost."

Critics around the world raved about the first leg of The Monster Ball Tour, which Gaga described as “the first-ever pop-electro opera.” The Sun called it “breathtaking stuff” and “the best live show you will see this year,” while London’s Independent wrote: “Gaga’s got it, which is why, right now, the whole pop world wants to take a ride on her disco stick.”

Writing about her show at Radio City Music Hall, the New York Times noted that “her Monster Ball tour always provided something worth a snapshot: a sci-fi tableau, perhaps, or a skimpy, glittery costume. The more her image gets around, the better Lady Gaga does.”
